Fibrocystic Breast Disease

Breast Pain is 95% Better

Hi Peter!

I really appreciate you checking on me :) My conversation with you was so enlightening. I read through (and often re-read) my notes with my friends and family because I learned so much. I wish there were more doctors like you.

Well, I feel really good for the most part. I would say in just this short time, I feel probably 80% better overall. I have a lot more energy, can sleep 5 hours and feel rested, and I'm feeling back to "normal". The 20% left is the fibroid :) I'll keep you posted on my improvement.

What I'm taking:

lugol's iodine 2% - prob 15/20-ish drops in the morning

indole-3-carbinol - 1-2 pills per day (200mg-400mg)

magnesium (jigsaw) - 4 pills per day (2 in morning 2 in the evening)

1 thyroid support - 1 per day (I had started this end of July to possibly assist with bowels and it helped significantly)

diet changes - ehhh...we're working on this, but we now definitely buy probably 70% organic now

safe toiletries - (I LOVE this list btw!) changed detergent to Trisodium phosphate, I now use Conti Castille soap, changed deodorant, use baking soda + xylitol mints and try to brush often with just water; I only wear mascara and eyebrow pencil daily but so far I'm not so happy with the paraben-free selections so I still use a mix of new and old until I can find one I like (I also don't wear the makeup half as often)

What I've noticed:

sleep - I sleep so much better than I have in years since having my son

Breast pain 95% better - before taking iodine & magnesium I was starting to have breast pain starting in June 2017. I'd also started using this spray sunscreen (daily) and I honestly think the harmful chemicals/toxins just sent me over the top. Once I stopped using and took iodine and magnesium it's almost nonexistent.

body aches all over + ankle pain gone - had an ankle injury in November 2016 that I hadn't been able to shake (had to drastically decrease workouts for the last 9+ months). The pain was gone in probably a week of taking the magnesium. Also, I would wake up SO sore after workouts, now I have no pain and my ankle that I injured doesn't crack every morning.

fibroid - since it's so large I haven't been able to tell. But the more I read about magnesium and calcium, it makes a lot of sense that I have a magnesium deficiency.

bowels - drastic improvement, extremely regular now after every meal instead of once per day
